BUT GOD

ByDr. Mark February 1, 2026 4 Comments
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:26 The Amplified Bible) There was something I needed to do, but I couldn’t do it by myself. I had no one to depend on; no, I had no one else – but God. There was a need to beat the devil, yet time after time, I could not get it done. No person I knew could help me win, no...

ANOTHER MEETING! THE EXCEPTION!

“If you had to identify, in one word, why the human race has not achieved, and will never achieve its full potential, that word would be meetings!’” (Quote by Dave Barry on Goodreads) In the workplace there are numeral meetings that many people dread. You know that I’m right about it. There is the Monday staff meeting, the early Monday executive team meeting, the late Monday afternoon...

“Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. ‘Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?’ He answered, ‘What’s written in God’s Law? How do you interpret it?’ He said, ‘That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself.’ ‘Good answer!’...

“So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, ‘May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!’ A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.” (Daniel...

IT’S MORE THAN BATHROOM DÉCOR!

ByDr. Mark January 28, 2026 0 Comments
This morning I’m going to try to convey something major with a scarce number of words. In the guest bathroom downstairs, there is a wooden plaque that says, “Wash your hands and say your prayer because Jesus and herms are everywhere.” This was concise, but perhaps for some, it will bring about a change. Remember wherever you may be today, the songwriter said it correctly, “Jesus is on...

MAKING BIG THINGS OUR OF SMALL THINGS

ByDr. Mark January 27, 2026 2 Comments
Let’s look at three perspectives related to “making big things out of small things.” Quickly, we will look at it from the view of a second grader, the view of a slacker, and then the view of the Savior. A second grader had completed a Q&A administered by his teacher. One of the questions was, “When you stub your toe, is that a big thing or a small thing?” While the faces of many...

THE FREE RENT SIGN

This is your Monday Short meditation. If you live on the westside of Indianapolis, you may have seen this sign while driving past a particular apartment complex, “FIRST AND LAST MONTH RENT FREE!”  If I were looking for an apartment I would definitely go directly into the leasing office and request a two-month lease. Oh, I would pay the refundable deposit, but by my proposition for a...

“Your Father knows what you need even before you ask.” (Matthew 6:8 Contemporary English Version It’s a cold and snowy day in a large portion of the continental United States. Of course, it is not just a snowy day, but it’s Sunday, the Lord’s Day. It’s the day where the saints of God assemble together. The problem on this particular Sunday is the frigid, sub-zero weather, accompanied...

“The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.’I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.’So Abram went, as...

TWO SIDES OF FLEXIBILITY

ByDr. Mark January 23, 2026 0 Comments
“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked , nor stand in the path of sinners,nor sit in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers). But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season. Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he...
